Imo in this price-range you're beyond the 'look at me I've got shiny colourful suspension arms' crowd and dealing with people who are focussed on function, in particular function for the track. So that leaves you with the competition being the offset bushes which provide on-car adjustability for $150-$200 which makes it's tough to justify the price.
While the cost does seem high, it does provide the adjustment needed at the correct location at half of the weight of the OEM arm. Instead of purchasing lower control arms, trailing arms, and toe links to provide camber and correct alignment. If purchasing all 3 of the lower components the price could go well over $800.00.

We do have upper control arms in prototype that are adjustable on the vehicle. The arms are currently on hold while we view the interest for the rest of the suspension products.
